THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father". Philippians 2:9-11.
1. DIVINE EXALTATION
The authority of Jesus, which is the exaltation of Christ’s name is in consequence of His humility by means of His redemptive work. The divine exaltation is of necessity because Christ died on the cross for our sins, so we wouldn't have to face eternal death. May we realize this divine exaltation and constantly cherish Jesus' intervention in all that we do in Jesus unfailing name. Amen.
2. ABSOLUTELY DIVINE
The authority of Christ's exaltation is absolute. His lordship is universal and in operation even, after He returns. The Lord's return will be actual, personal and visible. " Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him..." Revelation 1:7.
3.DIVINE RULER-SHIP
At the last judgment even those who are condemned will recognize Jesus' authority and right to rule. People can choose to regard Jesus as Lord now as a step of willing and loving commitment. May we never enter into problem beyond remedy before we acknowledge, receive and recognize Jesus as the Lord of our lives in everything we do.
